anime

Star Detective PreCure is a welcome return to form for the franchise. ― It is an absolute delight to have a good season of Pretty Cure again. You and Idol Precure♪, the previous entry in the franchise, was the weakest season since Tropical-Rouge Precure, and generally failed to live up to its direct predecessors, Soaring Sky! Precure and Wonderful Precure. But Star Detective Precure is a return to fo...

Tales of Wedding Rings II Anime Series Review

anime

The story is as bland and unimaginative as they come, without much of anything to give it any much-needed oomph. ― Pretense is king in the realm of romance—especially harem anime. By Arceus, there must be an excuse, no matter how canned or flimsy, for love interests to, say, share an indirect kiss, fall on top of each other, or for one of them to need to give the other mouth-to-mouth. That's simply h...

Are the Crunchyroll Anime Awards legitimate or just a self-congratulatory effort by a platform seeking to dominate the market? Jerome digs in. ― A Reader asks: Dear Answerman, with the Crunchyroll Anime Awards hitting their 10th anniversary this May, I keep seeing people call it "the Oscars of anime," but that never quite rings true to me. The Oscars are voted on by the people who make films. The An...

How to Compose an Anime Soundtrack: An Interview with Haikyu!! and My Hero Academia's Yuki Hayashi

May 4, 09:00 anime music

"With anime, you've got 40 or 50 pieces all for a single season. If you compose without thinking first, there's no balance to it." ― Music is an important part of any anime—and in some cases can make or break the show entirely. To find out a bit more about how anime soundtracks are made, we sat down with Yuki Hayashi, the composer of anime like Haikyu!!, Kiznaiver, and My Hero Academia—including the ...

Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None Season 1 Anime Series Review

May 3, 12:00

Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None is hampered by its own premise as much as it is helped. ― Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None is far from the first “banished from the heroes' party” fantasy story in recent years. In fact, it hits many of the key tropes of this sub-genre. Orhun is looked down upon by his party members for being weak—yet he's actually both the logistical linchpin and the strongest memb...
